Elisabeth has worked for sappi from 1990 to 2011 of which she worked the last 2 year in my department as Business Development Manager. The reason why I hired her was her outspoken versatility and commercial flair. I needed a team that could work flexible, independent, with a high standard of integrity (especially the area Elisabeth operated in (Middle east)) and with a lot of commercial flair and business acumen. The product as well as the customer base was new and I was looking for quick and profitable results. In less than 8 months, Elisabeth together with her colleague managed to build a portfolio that was almost 3 times bigger than similar business development group in South Africa was able to build in 3 years. And on top 20x more profitable than our normal mainstream business. She took care not only of sales but also setting up new and secure supply chains. Products needed to be produced in South Africa and shipped to Europe or Middle East. I praise her commitment and dedication to the common team goal. Her professionalism has impressed many customers and it’s so easy doing business with her.
